"A Dream Worth Keeping" -  Sheena Easton

 

http://www.zooborns.com/.a/6a010535647bf3970b0148c8072ecd970c-500wi

 

Any time you want to be right here

Just imagine me and all this will appear

You can keep this moment all your life

Forever near

A dream worth keeping

 

When you're feeling lost I'll be your star 

Just reach out and touch me

No matter where you are

In a world where precious things

Are disappearing overnight

Just keep my star in sight

 

[CHORUS:]

I believe we found a dream that's worth keeping

For more than just a day

And even though the winds of change

May come sweeping

It's still a dream worth keeping

So don't let it fade away

So don't let it fade away

 

Maybe you'll be in some distant land

Feeling all alone but I'll be close at hand

And every time you see a rainbow

Paint the sky behind the rain

You'll be here again

 

[CHORUS]

 

Some day you might be thinking

Life has passed you by

Spirits might be sinking

Hope in short supply

That's the reason why

That's the reason why

 

I know this dream's worth keeping

As long as it will stay

Even when you see the darkness come creeping

A dream worth keeping

Can never fade away

"Supercar" — Barry Gray

 

 

 

Supercar... Supercar...

With beauty and grace,

as swift as can be,

watch it flying through the air.

It travels in space,

or under the sea,

and it can journey anywhere.

 

Supercar... Supercar...

It travels on land,

or roams the skies,

through a heavens stormy rage,

It's Mercury-manned,

and everyone cries,

"it's the marvel of the age!"

 

Supercar... Supercar... SUPERCAR!

"Bravado" - Rush

 

If we burn our wings

Flying too close to the sun

If the moment of glory

Is over before it’s begun

 

If the dream is won

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

 

When the dust has cleared

And victory denied

A summit too lofty

River a little too wide

 

If we keep our pride

Though paradise is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

 

And if the music stops

There’s only the sound of the rain

All the hope and glory

All the sacrifice in vain

 

And If love remains

Though everything is lost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

We will pay the price

But we will not count the cost

(x3)

 

And if love remains

"Flawed" - Delta Goodrem

 

I don't want to be broken

I want to be laughing on a Saturday night

Surrounded by strangers who don't have a clue

That I'm struggling to find the light

 

I don't want to be open

I want to be a photograph underexposed

Impossible to figure out who I am

Right now I wonder if the world will ever know

 

Cause since you've been gone

I'm a puzzle without pieces

I'm a bird that cannot fly

 

[CHORUS:]

I don't know why love has to be so flawed

Will I ever get exactly what I want

And I don't care why

The only way to win is to risk it all

Not be afraid to fall

Why do we have to be so flawed

 

I've got treasures in my head

And dreams like diamonds all wrapped in gold

And will anybody ever know

 

[CHORUS]

 

Is it imperfection that's trying to bring me down

I can't be afraid

Only my dreams can save me now

I don't know why love has to be so flawed

 

I don't know why love has to be so flawed

Will I ever get exactly what I want

I don't care why

The only way to win is to risk it all

Not be afraid to fall

Why do we have to be so flawed

 

Why do we have to be so flawed

"Bluebird" - Ryan Bingham

 

My bluebird, my bluebird

Can fly as far as I can see

My bluebird has everything I need

My bluebird, my bluebird

Knows my deepest desires

My bluebird, my bluebird

Will catch me just before the fire

 

And I'm down on the river, baby

But I'm stuck on the other side, love

From a rope my heart is hanging

Water rises on a lonely soul

 

My bluebird, my bluebird wing

Can fly above it all

My bluebird

Will help me stand and be strong

My bluebird, my bluebird

Will never beg upon a knee

My bluebird, my bluebird

Knows I need to believe

 

And I'm down on the river, baby

But I'm stuck on the other side, love,

From a rope my heart is hanging

Water rises on a lonely soul

And I'll take my chances breathing

Ain't never gonna hold my breath

Because I know if I stay waiting

My lonely soul is gonna bleed to death

 

My bluebird, my bluebird

Knows my deepest desires

My bluebird, my bluebird

Will catch me just before the fire

 

And I'm down on the river, baby

But I'm stuck on the other side, love

From a rope my heart is hanging

Water rises on a lonely soul

And I'll take my chances breathing

Ain't never gonna hold my breath

Because I know if I stay waiting

My lonely soul is gonna bleed to death

"It's Only Life" - Kate Voegele

 

Tears are forming in your eyes

A storm is warning in the sky

The end of the world it seems

You bend down and you fall on your knees

Well, get back on your feet, yeah

 

[CHORUS:]

Don't look away

Don't run away

Baby, it's only life

Don't lose your faith

Don't run away

Baby, its only life

Yea it's only life

 

You were always playing hard

You never could let down your guard

But you can't win

If you never give in

To that voice within

Saying pick up your chin

Baby, let go of it

 

[CHORUS]

 

Take your hesitance

And your self-defense

Leave them behind, it's only life

Don't be so afraid

Of facing everyday

Just take your time, it's only life

I'll be your stepping-stone

No, don't be so alone

Just hold on tight, it's only life

 

Don't look away

Don't run away

Baby, it's only life

Don't lose your faith

Don't run away

Baby, its only life

Yea it's only life

Don't look away

"When Love Comes To The Rescue" - Oleta Adams

 

 

I hurt for you and feel your pain

Your tears rolled down

And left a stain on my heart

You're not alone I suffer too

I've felt every trial

That you've gone through from the start

That's what people do

When love comes to the rescue  :'( 

 

Your pain is my despair

I close my eyes and I'm already there

Feeling every aching need

And how much you need to be free 

I've heard you crying salty tears

And watched you get stronger

With every tear that falls

You'll get through it all

When love comes to the rescue

 

Your pain is my despair

I close my eyes and I'm already there

Feeling every aching need

And how much you need to be here with me

 

Come let me kiss those tears away

Discover a reason to celebrate with you

That's what we should do

When love comes to the rescue

When love comes to the rescue, yeah

When love comes to the rescue

When love comes to the rescue

Control"

 

They send me away to find them a fortune

A chest filled with diamonds and gold

The house was awake

With shadows and monsters

The hallways they echoed and groaned

 

I sat alone, in bed 'til the morning

I'm crying, "They're coming for me."

And I tried to hold these secrets inside me

My mind's like a deadly disease

 

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

 

And all the kids cried out,

"Please stop, you're scaring me."

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?

 

I paced around for hours on empty

I jumped at the slightest of sounds

And I couldn't stand the person inside me

I turned all the mirrors around

 

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

 

And all the kids cried out,

"Please stop, you're scaring me."

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?

 

I'm well acquainted

With villains that live in my bed

They beg me to write them

So they'll never die when I'm dead

 

And I've grown familiar

With villains that live in my head

They beg me to write them

So I'll never die when I'm dead

 

I'm bigger than my body

I'm colder than this home

I'm meaner than my demons

I'm bigger than these bones

 

[2x]

And all the kids cried out,

"Please stop, you're scaring me."

I can't help this awful energy

Goddamn right, you should be scared of me

Who is in control?

"Feelin' Alright"

 

Joe Cocker

 

Traffic

https://youtu.be/AIYLZOp_Bzc

 

Seems I've got to have a change of scene

Cause every night I have the strangest dream

Imprisoned by the way it could've been

Left here on my own or so it seems

I've got to leave before I start to scream

But someone locked the door and took the key

 

[CHORUS:]

Ya feelin' alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Well, ya feelin' alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

 

Boy, you sure took me for one big ride

And even now I sit and I wonder why

That when I think of you I start to cry

I just can't waste my time I must keep dry

Got to stop believin' in all your lies

Cause there's too much to do before I die

 

[CHORUS]

 

Don't get too lost in all I say

Like the time I really felt that way

But that was then and now it's today

Can't get off yet and so I'm here to stay

Till' someone comes along and takes my place

With a different name, yes, a different face

 

Ya feelin' alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

Well, ya feelin' alright?

I'm not feelin' too good myself

"Tears In My Eyes" - Joan Baez

 

Brother, do you love me

And do you want to live

Sister, it may break my heart

Yes, I want to live

But I've got tears in eyes

Let no one see me cry

I've got an aching in my soul

That no one will ever know

 

Look there look at the tree

It'll answer you and me

One look at the sky

And it can tell you why

We got tears in our eyes

Let no one hear us cry

Got an aching in our souls

That no one will ever know

 

Well, if this world should end today

Was it worth the while

I hope that it lasts for a long time more

Yes, it's worth the while

But we got tears in our eyes

Let no one see us cry

Got an aching in our souls

That no one will ever know

 

No one will ever know

"Long Way To Go" - Augustana

 

Here I stand

With gravel in my gut and heart in hand

I'm only asking for a second chance

A little better luck and circumstance

 

All I've got

I've never been the kind to ask a lot

I'm only asking for a second shot

A little helping hand and loving touch

 

So pick me up when I can't go on

Life ticking away like a time bomb

Still a hundred million miles from home

Got a long way, long, long way

We got a long way to go, Baby

Got a long way to go, yes I know

We got a long way to go, Baby, this time

 

Roughneck skin

Hell, even losers find a way to win

And that's the way I want to feel again

Dig up a little bit of confidence

 

Never say die

Don't got the answers I don't question why

Just need a little bit of extra time

Gonna raise my head I keep a little pride

 

So pick me up when I can't go on

Life ticking away like a time bomb

Still a hundred million miles from home

Got a long way, long, long way

We got a long way to go, Baby

Got a long way to go, yes I know

We got a long way to go, Baby, this time

 

So pick me up when I can't go on

Life ticking away like a time bomb

Still a hundred million miles from home

Got a long way, long long way to go

Long way, long long way to go

Long way, long long way to go

"Through Your Hands"

 

John Hiatt                                                    Don Henley                                                David Cosby

                https://youtu.be/286ZtWf2qaw                  https://youtu.be/vu9v6JGzNrw                        https://youtu.be/30-i6g9OTQY             

 

 

You were dreaming on a park bench

About a broad highway somewhere

When the music from the carillon

Seemed to hurl your heart out there

 

Past the scientific darkness

Past the fireflies that float

To an angel bending down

To wrap you in her warmest coat

 

And you ask,

"What am I not doing"

She says,

Your voice cannot command

In time you will move mountains

And it will come through your hands

 

Still you argue for an option

Still you angle for your case

Like you wouldn't know a burning bush

If it blew up in your face

 

Yeah, we scheme about the future

And we dream about the past

When just a simple reaching out

Might build a bridge that lasts 

 

And you ask,

"What am I not doing"

She says,

"Your voice cannot command

But in time you will move mountains

It will come through your hands

Through your hands

Through your hands"

 

So whatever your hands find to do

You must do with all your heart

There are thoughts enough

To blow men's minds

And tear great worlds apart

 

There's a healing touch to find you

On that broad highway somewhere

To lift you high as music

Flying through the angel's hair

 

Don't ask what you are not doing

Because your voice cannot command

In time we will move mountains

It will come through your hands

 

Through your hands

Through your hands

Through your hands

"Beautiful Birds" - Passenger feat. Birdy

 

http://cdn.gelestatic.it/deejay/www/2016/09/Giant-Panda-3.jpg

 

Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds

We would light up the sky when we’d fly

You were orange and red like the sun when it sets

I was green as an apple’s eye

 

You said you loved all the songs that I would sing

Like nothing that you’d ever heard

And I said I loved you with all of my heart

When we were two beautiful birds

 

Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds

We would sing when the morning would come

You were silver and blue like the moon when it’s new

I was gold as the summer sun

 

One day you asked for a different song

One that I just couldn’t sing

I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong

Those were the last days of spring

 

To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests

Like a book tearing out every page

We weren't to know that these feathers would grow

Into a beautiful cage  :'(

"Never Surrender" — Corey Hart

 

 

 

 

Just a little more time

Is all we're asking for

'Cause just a little more time

Could open closing doors

Just a little uncertainty

Can bring you down

 

And nobody wants to know you now

And nobody wants to show you how

 

So if you're lost and on your own

You can never surrender

And if your path won't lead you home

You can never surrender

 

And when the night is cold and dark

You can see, you can see light

Cause no one can take away your right

To fight and to never surrender

 

With a little perseverance

You can get things done

Without the blind adherence

That has conquered some

 

And nobody wants to know you now

And nobody wants to show you how

 

So if you're lost and on your own

You can never surrender

And if your path won't lead you home

You can never surrender

 

And when the night is cold and dark

You can see, you can see light

'Cause no one can take away your right

To fight and to never surrender

To never surrender

 

And when the night is cold and dark

You can see, you can see light

No one can take away your right

To fight and to never surrender

To never surrender

 

Oh, time is all we're asking for

To never surrender

Oh, oh, you can never surrender

 

Time is all you're asking for

Stand your ground, never surrender

Oh, oh, oh, oh, I said

You never surrender

"Searching" — INXS

 

 

I am searching

I am not alone

I am searching

Please, give me some

 

Have we lost direction

Washed our hands of blood

I'm in need of sensation

Is there more to this love

 

Saw a mother screaming

She had lost control

Of what she once believed in

And she was not alone

 

If you could face the pain

And I could do the same

It would be clear tomorrow

But will it start, but will it start again

 

I am searching

I am not alone

I am searching

Please, give me some

 

Saw a mother screaming

She had lost control

Of what she once believed in

And she was not alone

And I could do the same

It would be clear tomorrow

But will it start, but will it start again

"If I Can Dream" — Elvis Presley

 

 

 

 

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere

Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue

If I can dream of a better land

Where all my brothers walk hand in hand

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true?

 

There must be peace and understanding sometime

Strong winds of promise that will blow away all the doubt and fear

If I can dream of a warmer sun

Where hope keeps shining on everyone

Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear?

 

We're lost in a cloud with too much rain

We're trapped in a world that's troubled with pain

But as long as a man has the strength to dream

He can redeem his soul and fly

 

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question

Still I am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow

Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle

And while I can think

While I can talk

While I can stand

While I can walk

While I can dream

Please let my dream come true... Right now

Let it come true right now

" Ghost In The Wind"

Birdy

 

 

 

"Ghost In The Wind"

 

Can someone tell me who I am?

I haven't recognized myself in a while

And since you left, I stay up every night

Thinking if you were here, you put me right

 

I know I was stupid to let what we had go to waste

Why does everything I love always get taken away?

 

Ghost in the wind, calling you to take me home

Ghost in the wind, crying, "Where do I belong?"

Can anyone hear me now?

Can anyone hear me now?

 

Do you remember when we were young?

When I was terrified, you were by my side

Now you're gone, I have nowhere to run

No place that I belong, left burned in my search for love

 

I know I was stupid to let what we had go to waste

Why does everything I love always get taken away?

 

Ghost in the wind, calling you to take me home

Ghost in the wind, crying, "Where do I belong?"

Can anyone hear me now?

Can anyone hear me now?

 

I've been thinking about all the mess that I made

I've been thinking of you and the things that I said

Never meant to lose you

Never meant to lose me

 

Ghost in the wind, calling you to take me home

Ghost in the wind, crying, "Where do I belong?"

Can anyone hear me now?

Can anyone hear me now?

 

Ghost in the wind, calling you to take me home

Ghost in the wind, crying, "Where do I belong?"
